The problem with scanners is that there are so many different types of scanners where each requires a slightly or totally different driver (backends in Sane). Some of the backends support network scanners (for example Canon inkjets), some HP devices (if I remember correctly). There is however no Twain backend. Twain is not supported under Linux Now I wonder whether the device is really offering Twain or does it have a Twain driver that makes it usable under Windows? So in your case there is first the Twain support that is missing and second the network support. If the device really supports Twain (which is a software interface, not network) a twain driver is the first thing that is required. If that existed a network driver would be relatively easy to create.
